El Reg deploys (extra) comment icons

The commentators among you will have noticed that El Reg recently deployed a set of 11 "comment icons" (now expanded to 23) allowing you, our beloved readers, to flag your two bits' worth with a suitable image.

However, it seems there's a bit of confusion as to what pic should accompany which sort of outburst, so here are our guidelines:

Thumbs-up: I approve of this.

Thumbs-down: I do not approve of this.

Stop: Stop this nonsense forthwith.

Go: Proceed with this nonsense at flank speed.

Happy: I’m very happy and wish to express my contentment.

Unhappy: I'm very unhappy and wish to express my discontent.

Luurv: I am in love with this writer/commentator and want to have his/her babies.

Flame: I’m pretty pissed off and what follows is accompanied by steam coming out of my ears, etc, etc.

Adios: I’m so furious that I am removing El Reg from my bookmarks.

Where’s the IT angle?: This is self-explanatory. Feel free to add comment about how when I was a lad The Register had proper tech coverage, etc, etc.

Where’s the Paris Hilton angle?: Stuff the IT angle...

I’ll get me coat: Warning: Unforgivably corny comment follows.

Joke alert: Warning: Comment may contain irony or sarcasm, and should be viewed accordingly.

General alert: All hands man the pumps, run for the hills, batten down the hatches, and so forth.

Black helicopters: I hear the distant sound of black helicopters and am off to my Montana mountain bunker complex.

Alien: There is an extraterrestrial explanation for all of this and here it is...

Mars: Exclusively reserved for amanfromMars or his disciples.

Saint Gates: Bill Gates is God.

Devil Gates: Bill Gates is the Antichrist.

Saint Steve: Actually, I think you’ll find Steve Jobs is God.

Devil Steve: No he isn’t, and the iPhone sucks a big fat one.

Be warned that misuse of comment icons (eg, using a Boffin alert to draw the tech-minded readers into something which is actually about Lindsay Lohan nipslip websites), is punishable by a one-month ban from reading El Reg. Repeat offenders may be tracked by their IP address and paid a personal visit by the Vulture Central black ops soviet. You have been warned. ®
